Influenced by --Led Zeppelin, the Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Rolling Stones, the Band, the Faces

Notable --The band took about three months to record its first full-length album. The self-titled effort, which came out this past summer, features songs written by all four band members.

Quotable --"That's one of the cool things - everyone does do a lot of the writing," Shook said. "There is no, like, one person that does everything. Everyone helps out with the music. It's kind of cool - everyone has their own thing."
